Each month we’ll give a shout out to one NHL team’s coaching staff for pulling out ahead of the pack.

The month of January 2021 goes to the Boston Bruins coaching staff, including Bruce Cassidy (Head Coach), Jay Pandolfo, Joe Sacco, and Kevin Dean (Assistant Coaches), Bob Essensa (Goaltending Coach), Mat Myers (Video Coach) and Sean Andrake (Assistant Video Coach). Congrats on taking the January 2021 Coaching Staff of the Month award!

THE STATS:
5-1-2 record
.750 Points %
34.6 Power Play %
90.9 Penalty Kill %
58.7 Face Off %

How’s the scoring work? We look at 5 categories for how teams are doing:

  1. Wins
  2. Points Percentage
  3. Shutouts
  4. Power Play Percentage
  5. Penalty Kill Percentage

Then we take the top ten teams from each category that month and assign points based on how they finished in that respective category. Combine that with any subjective categories, like a really long winning streak, and we determine which coaching staff is most deserving of the title each month.
